Abstract

The conceptual design of the architecture of a wireless strain monitoring network suitable for space applications is presented. The system is a heterogeneous wireless network that consists of battery powered nodes and batteryless nodes that are able to harvest energy from an incident RF field. Battery powered nodes are based on the Zigbee standard. Both battery and batteryless nodes are envisioned to include sensors but some battery powered nodes could simply serve as relaying points to transfer data to the central computer. The structure of the batteryless nodes as well as remote powering and data transmission are analyzed.

Keywords: Wireless sensor networks remote powering structural health monitoring
